As long as there were more and more Awakened in the Devourer Plane, the energy within them would continue to increase as they improved through cultivation.
For the entire Devourer Plane, that meant the plane's total energy was constantly rising.
And as long as the top powerhouses of this plane wished to continue advancing, they would definitely ensure the plane developed healthily rather than allowing the lives at the middle and lower levels to wither away.
For beings at their level, it was easy to use all sorts of methods to ensure that energy ultimately flowed toward them.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the Devourer Plane would certainly establish rules to guide the plane's development in a positive direction, and they would ultimately benefit from it as well.
The Wizard Plane protected ordinary people in order to increase the number of wizards, while the Devourer Plane protected ordinary people in order to increase total energy. At their core, both sought to strengthen their respective planes.
The Devourer Plane could not possibly be as simple as it appeared, a place filled solely with the law of the jungle. Otherwise, it would never have developed into a Middle Plane.
"The Devourer Plane is not a lawless slaughterhouse. As Awakened cultivate and improve, the energy within their bodies increases, so theoretically, the plane's total energy is slowly rising. For those at the very top of the plane, those level 4 or perhaps even higher lifeforms, they are the apex predators in this sea of energy. But they will not drain the pond dry to catch the fish."
"Allowing the lower levels to wither is no different from destroying their own foundation. A healthy, ever-growing population of middle- and lower-tier Awakened is the pasture that allows those in high positions to continuously draw energy.
